ALEXANDER 11311121312, or ANDERSON, INDIANA, Assmnon T0 VESTA ACCUMULATOR COMPANY, A CORPORATION or ILLINOI MAGNETO-ELECTRICAL GENERATOR.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ALEXANDER L. HEIZER, of Anderson, county of Madison, and State of Indiana, have invented a certain new and useful 'Magneto-Electrical Generator; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, had to the accompanying drawings, in which like letters refer to like parts.

It is an object of this invention to construct a magneto generator, the framev of which is ofan improved construction and in which oscillatable pole pieces are mounted.

It is also an object of this invention to provide in combination with a solid integral frame permanent magnets associated therewith and with the pole piecesthereof oscillatably mounted within said frame.

The invention (in a preferred form) is illustrated in the drawings and hereinafter more fully described. v

In the drawings: Figure 1 is a central vertical section through the magneto. Fig. 2 is a transverse section on line 22 of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is an end elevation of the solid frame with the otherportions of the device omitted.

As shown in the drawings: The solid frame of the device consists of a base 1, a top wall 2, and integral end members 3 and 4, which are provided with circular apertures therethrough.

As clearly shown in Figs. 2 and 3, the bottom wall 1, is of a greater width than the,

base or floor 1. An outer series of magnets 7,'is secured closely over said inner magnets 6, and each of said series of fits betweenthe end walls 3 frame. As clearly shown in said respective bottom and top walls 1 and 2, are arched away from "one another centrally, and oscillatably mounted in said frame are the respective pole pieces 8 and 9. For this purpose an end cap 10, is secured to said respective pole pieces, and is rotatably mounted within the apertured end wall 4, at oneend of the magneto, and at the other end thereof said pole pieces are secured to a cylindrical member 11, also jourand 4, of the Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed April 22 1909. Serial No. 491,420.

naled in the apertured end'3, of the frame, and provided with a vertical centrally apertured partition wall 12. ,Secured upon a threaded circular flange on the cap 10,-is a smaller centrally apertured cap 13, and inclosed 'therewithin is a bearing ring 14, which affords a tracking member or part of a ball race for ball bearings 15. .An armature core 16, provided with shaft extensions 17 and 18, respectively, is mounted within the frame of the magneto with the shaft end 17, projecting through the respective caps 10 and 13, "and having secured thereon a bearing ring 19, upon which said balls 15,

track. At its other end 18, said armature core has two bearings, one in a cap 20, which I s secured upon the cylindricalmember 11, and the other bearing being formed bya circular grooved ring 21, secured upon the shaft portion 18, and rotating in a ring 22, with balls. 23, interposed between said 'reprovided with oppositely directed are shaped wing portions 24 and 25, each of which has secured thereto curved lates 26 and 27, respectively, the inner ,hal of each of which overlaps a winding 28, upon said core 16.

For the purpose of adjusting said pole pieces a ring 29, is rigidly secured upon said cylindrical member 11, and is provided with a handle30, on the upper side thereof. Integra'l legs. or attaching members 31, are formed integrally upon the under side of the bottom wall onifio'or 1, of the frame, so that the device when attached in position for use'is spaced from the support, whateverit be. The purpose of mounting the pole' pieces 8 and 9,'os cillatably within the device, is to permitadjnstment thereof with adjustment in theltiinin-gi mechanism, the

, details of which are, not entered into here.

Said armature core 16, is

tially open at the sides with upwardly pro jecting ribs on the base of the frame on each side, pole pieces insertable in said frame, and magnets overlapping the frame and resting upon the base and against said ribs.

2-. In a magneto, a frame comprising integral bottom and end walls, said .end walls apertured, a top wall integral with the end walls, and of less width than the bottom wall, said bottom and top wall concaved, ribs integral with the bottom wall having their 'outerlsides in alinement with the edges of the top wall, and permanent magnets having parallel sides to -fit tightlyagainst the edges of the top wall and against the 7 outside of the ribs: y

, In witness whereof I have hereunto aflixed my signature in the presence of the witnesses herein named. 1
